It means they traveled at 1000 km/h for 390 hours... Or 2000km/h for 195 hours... Just how long were they gone... how much gas does a trip like that take? times two cause they had to come back also... 390 000 km.
So if they could go 2000km/h round trip is 390 hours.
The speed of sound is 1,236km/h so they could go twice as fast and it would take 390 hours round trip...
is that it. If so, is there some thing that i do not understand, can some one explain...

And please don't ignore the fact that jaxa/selenes hight data as you also can see is exactly the same. How can they film this on earth, but the landscape is 100% exact like on the moon, no way.

Well... I'm gonna say that "moon landscape" could easily be produced on a sound stage. Easily. (And for a lot less than firing people to the moon...) I am on the fence about the moon landings. I think some of it was real, and a lot of it is fake. But I am unsure, overall.
Did we not have color-tv at that time...? The most advanced technology at work but impossible to have at least some b/w definiton when receiving the tv-transmission? You should almost think that the terrible quality of the signal is on purpose....The audio seems to be fine..Can somebody not give an educated opinion about why NASA did not use color camera's and why the tv-reception is so terrible?
Look at mobile phone technology, for example. How rapidly does that change. In leaps and bounds.
We supposedly land on the moon in the 60's and yet that technology seems to have ground to a halt by comparison.
Look at it this way... You've stated in front of the world you will be on the moon by the end of the decade. A few weeks before, your test flight landing vessel is flying like a kite in a strong wind, and you've recently fried some astronauts in a ground based simulator. You need to lead the way and beat the Russians! There is no going back.
I hear what you say, and yes of course certain aspects of space travel and the technology applied has advanced, but as far as I am aware, the technology to land man on a planet, to get out and walk around hasn't been possible.
since the supposed landing on December 12th 1972.
The point I am making is that the levels of technological advancement in things like mobiles is massive, whereas in space its not seemingly that way.
As the earlier poster mentioned - Moon bases and moon holidays would surely be common place if the technology had advanced at the same rate since 1969.
Aren't we supposed to have as much technology in our phones today, as they did in their computers back in 1969, yet they still only manage a flyby with the shuttle?
Yes, I can explain - It's because its a studio light that's illuminating the area, not the sun!
There are lots of images on youtube, that show shadows and/or light in impossible angles/places.
